Honoring A Servant Leader
Perkins, who passed away in 2016, was a servant leader; a distinguished alumna of Indianapolis Public Schools and Butler University; a longtime Citizens Energy Group executive; and a tireless advocate for improving the quality of life in Indianapolis. As a tribute to her memory, the Fund continues impactful workforce development initiatives, enhancing access to meaningful educational and career opportunities while specifically reducing disparities for members of the Black community and other diverse groups including veterans and members of reentry programs.
Uniting Our Community
For many years, Citizens Energy Group enjoyed inviting friends and partners to join a yearly golf outing fundraiser in support of educational and workforce development initiatives. In 2022, the Yvonne Perkins Legacy Fund was established as the chief recipient of these fundraising efforts.
The Yvonne Perkins Legacy Fund and our annual golf outings will continue to unite our community around educating our young people, developing equity in the workforce, and growing the talent pool in Marion County. In support of these objectives, the YPLF is excited to offer scholarships for which students can apply.
